We're having lots of fun playing through the tunes. He left a toaster too but it's not as much fun.

I remember way back when I started on fiddle again after decades of not playing I met up with a great group of oldtime players who invited me to their weekly jam. Most of the tunes were nice and...

I like the gauge - wonder what it measures? ;)

I have no direct experience with either but I've heard that Yita and Gliga are good choices for beginner violins. Both have gotten positive reviews and are in your price range.

Ha! Some good contenders for the weirdest of the musically weird here. Great thread!

I'll put myself near the bottom :crying:. I strung up an old fiddle with octave strings just for fun. It's...

Ha! How little ye know about us of the fretless persuasion!

My main fiddle is luthier-made and a bit over the top, considering I mostly play trad Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, etc. music. It holds...

Why is someone posting video game music here? Is this a joke? What am I missing? :confused:

For those of us in the U.S. try http://www.gradam.ie/index.php/programme/?lang=en Pt. 3 about 20:30 - but the entire show is worth watching. Good stuff! :)

Same here, Loretta - I called it Kerfunken until I came across an interview where Hammy Hamilton talked about it. I can't remember the link but I'd saved the interview in a file. Here's what he said:...

It's not surprising to see all the differing opinions here; handedness is complicated and can't be defined in absolute terms. There are degrees of handedness, and even the right/left language...

I think it's also called Louis' Waltz, written by Andy DeJarlis as La Valse du Beau Canton. Here's a version from The Traditional Music Library.

You can also find it on Nigel Gatherer's site.

Our little town got lucky for St. Patrick's Day - Wendy MacIsaac, Mary Jane Lamond, Cathy Porter and Seph Peters came here to play in between their Seattle and Portland shows promoting their CD,...

Lulu prints and sells the books in the U.S. for Comhaltas. All three seem to be in stock and sell for $23. You can also buy and download PDF versions (my preference) for $13.39.
